Game Of The Week: Lunch Money

Ever want to fight without coming to blows? This game might just give you a way - a way, as its website at Atlas Games points out, "without all that slippery blood."
The idea is that you're beating someone up for their lunch money... sounds like a wonderful concept for a game eh? Well, at least it's realistic! I know this one may seem a little weird, or even a little mean. I'll confess I'm a bit skeptical, but it's been out for a while, and my brother swears the game is fun. That may just be because he's a bit of a bully himself sometimes, but he also owns a gaming store and has to know what the fun games are to stay in business, so I'm inclined to trust him.






It's not just any 3.5
The game is a lot of fun. First time i played it was about 4 years ago. There was drinking to be had but then we brought this out and everyone was describing the actions as thy played the cards, good times had by all. I've been looking for the expansion Sticks and Stones but never found it in stores. If i try again I'll do it online :D.
There is also a sequal/expansion called Beer Money. Similar mechanics just now the same girl is a little older and it's more violent. It can also be used witht eh Lunch Money cards to make confusing role to play.
Lunch Money was a game that I recently got a hold of and I consider it one of the best card game investments I've made right next to Privateer Press' Infernal Contraption and Infernal Contraption: Sabotage!. A real blast to play and the card flavor texts are awesome.
